Description
Stand out from the campervan crowd with this rare classic.
This is a beautifully presented, professionally restored, turn-key 1983 Bedford CF campervan. Comfortable and practical. Autosleeper style camper, solid pop top to allow standing room throughout, and wrap around windows for taking in the views.
Combining iconic retro 1980s styling with modern comforts and safety upgrades, this van is in great condition, fully running, and completely ready for its next adventure. Located in Norfolk.
Original, robust 2. 3L Vauxhall Slant-Four petrol engine (starts and runs beautifully). Manual with 4 gears, no power steering but could be fitted.
Classic Bedford CF bodywork. After restoration, the van is in remarkable condition.
Previous bodywork issues professionally repaired, metal protected, complete strip down, full repairs of sills, wheel arches, doors & body (all typical Bedford rust issues were dealt with professionally - photos of work available). Respray (blue) in 2021. You won't find another Bedford in this good shape.

Registered as a Historic Vehicle (Officially MOT and Road Tax exempt, ULEZ compliant). The interior is clean, dry, and thoughtfully updated. Mechanically sound and structurally solid, it bypasses the typical "restoration project" headaches.
Ideal for coastal cruising along the North Norfolk coast or camping trips further afield. We've had some amazing and memorable family adventures with this van, but need something bigger now the kids are growing up.
